8th Ed. Tactics vs. WoC: below 1000 Points.

[Hasnat]

There is already a thread regarding fighting the new Warriors of Chaos. However, for those who play low points level games (e.g. newcomers), what advice would one give when fighting WoC?

try with priests: strenght 6 spells are useful against his tanker units. Temple guard with the armour piercing banner should be nice. If your enemy uses khorne, redirect him with skinks. Salamanders on his marauders should do well. If you are desperate you can try a young stegadon: the giant bow doesn't allow the armour save, and the monster will be nice in close combat. Also, NEVER take spears with saurus. Parry saves are much more useful

Interesting. 2 Salamanders + 2 x 18 Saurus Warriors, or 1 Salamander + 2 x 20 Saurus Warriors: which would you choose?

salamanders are nice because of -2 to armour save and against marauders they'll be destructive. Saurus warriors, however, are going to lose against every non-marauder chaos warriors unit, so i'd try to have the biggest unit i can
